Facility Inspections

One of the many reasons this turned out to be a quality nursing home is that it received an A+ inspection grade. This is simply as good as it gets in this critical category. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing these inspection scores. One key factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more important than the number of deficiencies, as some are relatively insignificant. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

We also gave this facility a score of A for our long-term care score. In a long-term care environment, the nursing home's primary goal is to maintain patients' quality of life and keep them safe. On top of assessing the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 93.83033 percent of its residents, which is slightly lower than we were hoping for. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Short-term Care Quality

Turning to our third area, this nursing home also received a score of B for its short-term care rating. This is a well above average grade in this category. Our short-term care grade is commonly employed to score a facility's rehabilitation services In order to provide good rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally must feature higher levels of highly skilled nursing services. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other licensed professionals. It doesn't look like this facility provided information on registered nurse or physical therapist staffing. The last measure we considered in this area is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the facility and return home. We found that 6.1 percent of this nursing home's patients were able to return home.

Nurse Quality

The final category we graded was nursing. This facility received a very good nursing grade in our assessment, with a C. While this is not quite as good as many of its other category grades, this is still an acceptable rating in this category. Nursing grades are based largely on nurse staffing levels. This facility provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This is a lower figure than we are used to seeing. Lastly, nursing scores also factor in quality-based measures, such as preventing major falls. Despite not having the highest total nursing hours per resident, this place performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is often an indicator that a place has quality controls in place. Many falls could be avoided if a nursing home supplies enough nurses aids to assist its patients.
